Nothing Ever Changes5. The Truth Is In The Post6. Seance Of Entitlement7. FWB8. Anticipation Occupation9. Timmy O & Gem P10. The Patti Smith Disaster11. Our Kes12. Technological UtopiansIt’s a funny old world, and yet again, The Black Dog have provided the soundtrack. Our fast-approaching dystopia has been envisioned and documented by the band for decades. Now, The Black Dog’s two new albums, Post -Truth and Black Daisy Wheel, translate their growing horror into some of their most accessible and impactful music, translating our manufactured reality into high energy dancefloor constructions on Post -Truth, and reflective ambient excursions on Black Daisy Wheel.Long familiar with the tropes and pitfalls of esoteric undergrounds, in both the pre- and post internet eras, The Black Dog have ventured deep into contemporary conspiratorial cultures with a trenchantly critical eye. In the 80s, conspiracy theories were a tonic for a sceptical mind, a stimulant to agile thinking. Today, they have become the stock in trade of mainstream political influence. The scene has morphed into a rabbit hole where nothing is “really” real, everything is a hoax, and everyone is out to get you.The mindset is beyond paranoid, the discourse so far post-fact that only opinion and assumed identity matter. Arguing against proven science is a part of the entry criteria, and wilful pedantry its standard currency. The impact on mental health is corrosive: fear, uncertainty and doubt multiply and replicate until the most ridiculous theories are invented to explain the most basic things: tarmac, banana skins, duvets. Auto-suggestion is rife, where willing victims drink bleach (MMS) at the behest of Youtube videos, flat-earthers are taken seriously, and the manufactured fearful believe they are being gang-stalked for finding monsters on pixelated screens. The distinction between the real world and the world of an auto-hoaxer is so blurred that reality melts away; you’re only ever one personal detail away from being doxxed, at which point reality bites back, hard.You couldn’t make it up, even though that is exactly what the conspiratorial fringe (now one sharp corner from the mainstream) always do. The fact that there are real people involved in this scene creates a real sense of pathos and anger which is deeply embedded in the music on these two albums. As soon as you start engaging with people in the so-called “truth movement”, one minute it’s painful, but the next can be genuinely funny; these are people who are both on edge and upon the edge of a larger social and political reality that, for worse and for (even) worse, defines our times. Hence these two very different albums. Black Daisy Wheel is reflective, often intense, frequently compassionate; while Post -Truth was written while The Black Dog was fully engaged with people whose paranoia was in full swing.Welcome to our disinformation.releases May 25, 2018More information:

The album was released in 2002 on CD. It is meant as a tribute to William S. Burroughs and inspired by The Black Dog’s collaboration with Burroughs before his death. Ken Downie explained: "We’d sent tapes to William Burroughs, and were waiting for him to deliver some spoken word back to us, but he fell ill, and died. Mr Sifichi sent us a pair of blue underpants he'd found in Paris, so he was the natural person to help us finish off the album. We got on very well, and had a lot of fun making it."Black Sifichi remembers: "The Black Dog heard my first album with Negative Stencil 'Tick' and I made contact when I heard about their Burroughs project. I thought I could do a 'cameo' reading of one of Bill's texts somewhere on it. Anyway, The Black Dog loved my voice, how it was delivered. After Bill's death a demo of mine inspired them to produce a homage to Burroughs with me. Unsavoury Products has a message... the majority of traditional electronic albums do not. It is a way to use musical aesthetics and seamlessly merge them with words. In many ways the album is closer to art than most music media/products, which are constrained by commercial demands."At the time of the album's production the band considered itself a "multimedia collective" with members Martin (in charge of creative design and development), Steve Ash (studio production) and Ross Knight (guitar) besides Ken Downie: "We're essentially a collective in the Warhol 'Factory' sense; we float in and out of the group depending on the projects we're working on, independently or together.”We’ve collected both Unsavoury Products & Genetically Modified (Remixes of Unsavoury Products) into the 3rd Volume of The Book Of Dogma.released March 4, 2016More information:

"This album plots our journey into the dark side of the conspiracy world, revealing some of the people we’ve talked to and others we've simply listened to.Here we share the edited versions of our first five Conspiracy Tapes. They're not an easy listen and they're not designed to be, but these people and their ideas are real.It would be easy to laugh and poke fun at these characters, but they're 100% serious and the consequences are very real. People are actually drinking poisons like MMS and Turpentine. Others are dying due to Breatharians. Some resort to suicide because a psychic said that a loved one is waiting. People are losing their families, friends and jobs over this stuff. This is not a joke."released January 11, 2019More information:

The conventional narrative can’t be trusted, it's just to keep you in place. They're hiding something but no-one knows what. No Future & No Control. Denial is the new faith that cuts any argument down to size, where the only proof needed is a simple statement: “It’s all a lie”.Welcome to the paranoid World of Autohoaxers, where the smallest subjective detail debunks everything in your life and everyone is a Targeted Individual.released June 22, 2018More information:

Cognitive Dissonance (Extended Anthony Liely Mix) (06:11)2. Cognitive Dissonance (RMX By Slit) (04:33)3. Literal Optical Slant (05:13)Total length: 15:57We are still deep inside the rabbit hole arguing with people who deny everything, who assert that all you know is wrong, and who will present no evidence to the contrary.
The sheer frustration of talking to those who spend their lives making things up has deeply influenced us during the construction of this EP.We got placed in cognitive dissonance several times during this process, people telling us we had to unlearn everything we’d be taught. We'd laugh if they hadn’t been serious.released July 20, 2018More information:

Technological Utopians (Beatless Future RMX) (05:19)Total length: 16:18released August 18, 2018“Technological Utopians” is lifted from the album Post -Truth and remixed into two very different interpretations. To complement these, the brand new track “Something Under My Skin Again” is presented.“These tracks were written and remixed under the influence of people who believe in Morgellons, that vaccines are bad, and all drugs are scare drugs.In the conspiracy world, these topics are bigger than you think and truly affect people in the real world. This is a world where people pay for and believe in drinking bleach, where MMS is a real product for sale and so beyond stupid you have to question how reality has become so warped.How did we get here? These belief systems are more dangerous than any religion and it’s only going to get worse.”More information:

Tell Me What You Remember (Variation remix) (08:20)Total length: 18:58released September 14, 2018The fourth and final EP in the Hoaxer series drops three distinct remixes, all darker and deeper than what has gone before.“Saying goodbye to all of our new conspiracy friends and the rather strange paranoid mindset that comes with them is something of a relief. This final EP of the Hoaxer series was created in a moment of reflection after listening to a combination of extreme Catholicism and Mormonism.After a while, all of the confrontation and hate just wears you down. We genuinely don’t know how these people get through a day carrying all of this man-made hate for fellow humans. It’s kind of sad that people make time for this kind of thing, let alone fund it. It’s also clear that Social Media needs both ends of every extreme to exist and make money. The divisions in society are profound, intolerance is rife, mistrust is real, and the conspiracies are ever more absurd.This will not end well.”More information:

Conspiracy Tapes 003 Brian Harvey E17 - T.I (01:00:00)This is a very difficult listen, Brian like most Targeted Individuals doesn’t trust anyone and believes he’s being targeted by everyone and has been trapped in his house for 5yrs. He’s angry, confused and concerned for his own well being. After 2yrs down the rabbit hole even we are questioning why the Police decided to knock on his door at 4.45am. He believes he is a targeted individual and openly admits this whole thing is making him ill. We wish him all the best and hope that he comes out the other side.released September 26, 2018
